Made this for dinner, but used chicken instead. It turned out absolutely great! Definitely making this recipe again. Thanks for posting it 🙂
that’s awesome! love when people try my recipes and let me know how it turned out 🙂
Thanks Tricia, following you on FB and Twitter. I love your blog, I will pass it on to my son and his friends who are dorm living at University of Calgary. Notice my Pinterest has a board just for them (they claim guys can’t have Pinterest), yet they want good recipes to cook up at University.
I seriously started salivating when I say this! Looks wonderful.
thanks Gwen, glad you enjoyed!
Yes, you have a winner! Haven’t tried it yet but will very soon. My housecleaning Lady is Spanish. She makes Turkey recipes including like this one which are extremely delicious.
May I suggest inserting a print instruction? It is hard to copy by hand. Although I have a special program which makes it much easier, some may not have a way to make a copy for the kitchen preperations!
Many Thanks,
Thanks, I will try to find a simple program to install a print feature.
This was an amazing dish. My family really enjoyed it. It is definitely going in the recipe book. Both my four year old and one year old had second helpings. Thanks for sharing.
How wonderful of you Tamika to take the time to let me know. thanks!
Hi Laureen, I have a question about the recipe: The cream of chicken soup , is it a condensed soup or a cream of chicken soup that you don’t need to add water. Can’t wait to try it, probably thursday because the peppers will be on sale.
Hi Claude, this would be the condensed cream of chicken soup, you would not be adding any water to it. Hope you enjoy the recipe
Can this recipe be made ahead and frozen?
Hi Shelly, I have not, but I believe it should freeze well.
Do you drain the diced tomatoes? Also what size can do you use? Thanks
Hi Erin, yes you drain the tomatoes.
Are the tortilla chips 2 cups crushed, or just 2 cups?
That would be 2 cups crushed Janet.
That’s really yummy! I’ll use this again. Thank you!
This recipe is on point! Definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing this with us!
thank you Angie!
Hi, this looks and sounds delicious. What size can of diced tomatoes do you use?
Thanks Kathy, 28 oz size. Drain the juice off.
Hi
.
This is just what I am looking for. I buy turkeys when they are on sale, and roast them a couple of times a year. I freeze some of the turkey for easy dinners. I usually make enchiladas with the turkey. This sounds easier and just as delicious. I will add a little cayenne, garlic powder, and a can of diced chilies, like you suggested. Thank you for sharing this winner, I already printed this out and will make it tomorrow. Have a wonderful day!
I use turkey year round as well. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
